Locally Grown: show for week of 9.24

We’re back with our first audio show of the season, recorded Monday afternoon at KRLX and produced by Mathias Bell (below left), #2 honcho at the student-run station.

Our guest this week was Mary Schier, Friends of the Northfield Public Library board member (on the right in the right photo with Tracy and Ross – click to enlarge). Mary gave us an update on the big event of the week, the Spelling Bee for Booker this Thursday night at the Grand. Seventeen teams are scheduled to compete, including some heavy hitters from both colleges. (I plan to be there snapping photos and capturing some audio.)

We also took some time on the show to explain our new blogsite, our plan for the types of weblog posts you can expect from us over the course of a week (quick summary: lots of opinions, substantiated rumors, and serious fluff), and our desire to involve you, our listeners and site visitors, in both the show and the blog.
